Lyrics
Lord, be there for me when I fall.
Be there for me when I call.
Be there for me, dear Lord.
Lord, be there for me when I fall.
Be there for me when I call.
Be there for me, dear Lord.
Lord, You know I always need You;
And I know that, Lord, You’ll be there.
Lord, be there for me when I fall.
Be there for me, dear Lord.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.
He is all I need.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.
He is all I need.

Meaning & Inspiration
Lord Be There For Me is a compact prayer of dependence, asking for God’s presence in moments of failure and need. Its repeated appeal gives the song the simplicity of a congregational refrain, while the assurance that the Lord answers turns anxiety into trust. The lyric does not present human strength as sufficient; instead, it rests on God’s nearness when faith falters and a cry for help is made.
The final declaration shifts from petition to worship by naming the slain Lamb as the one who is worthy and sufficient. That language clearly echoes the praise of the Lamb in Revelation 5:12. The request for help when calling also aligns with Psalm 145:18, which describes the Lord as near to those who call in truth. Together, these themes connect prayer, divine presence, and Christ’s sacrifice, giving the brief song a clear movement from personal need toward confident adoration.
